Treble for Mullins as Cotswold Blue puts herself in shop window Cotswold Blue (5/4f) outclassed her rivals in the bumper at Wexford to give Willie Mullins a treble on the card. She was absolutely tanking along in the lead for a motionless Patrick Mullins rounding the home bend and eased away with a furlong to travel. It was certainly an armchair ride for Mullins as she glided in by seven lengths from Silk Buds (10/1). Bredas Pearl was a length and three-parts further back in third at 33/1. Patrick Mullins said: "The strong pace really suited and she settled better as a result. We bought her as a yearling and she has had her issues, so we aren't training her hard at home. I think she is improving from run to run and today really crowned her. "She is out of a half-sister to Big Buck's and is a fine mare who we had ready to run in the Punchestown Festival before pulling a muscle. That's the regard we held her in and, being six, we weren't going to put her away and kept her going for the summer. "I think a jump will help her settle more. She isn't slow either and is for sale." Trainer Mullins was also responsible for Highland Realm (7/2) and Are You Around (6/1). Additional reporting by Tom Weekes
